Bartster Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Anyone know a release date for the Lawman drag racer?
Bartster Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 I'm back in the hobby after over 30 yrs out. I don't know how that works, just wondering if you could elaborate?
Rob Hall Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Well, Lindberg announced it first in 2009 as a 2010 release IIRC...and it didn't come out last year or this year, don't think it was shown at the recent iHobby expo, and no announcement about it since then, so people assume it's not going to happen. Lindberg seems to have stopped new development a while back. Just speculation on my part, maybe one of the insiders here can weigh in. Edited December 28, 2011 by Rob Hall
Bartster Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Gotcha! Things sure have changed! Used to have to go to the store to see what's new!
Harry P. Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah, now you can find out right here what's not going to happen!

bbowser Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Forgive my ignorance, but couldn't you build the Lawman with the Color Me Gone kit and some aftermarket decals?
Rob Hall Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Forgive my ignorance, but couldn't you build the Lawman with the Color Me Gone kit and some aftermarket decals? Yes, you could probably take the stock Belvedere kit w/ some drag parts from the CMG Dodge kit and aftermarket decals.. Edited December 28, 2011 by Rob Hall
bbowser Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I think the Color me Gone kit is a Dodge. (I don't know drag racing well) But the Plymouth body could be garnered from the Petty Belvedere kit. Duh, if I'd read the thread title!
Mike Kucaba Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 You could build all the Lawman cars. Cady decals, '63 Johan Plymouth, '64 Lindberg Plymouth for the max wedge early cars and a Flintstone Belvidere resin sedan gets you close to a hemi lightweight. Shave off the Belvidere trim and you have a Savoy.
Len Woodruff Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Problem with the Cady decals is that they are way off on the color.

Mike Kucaba Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Problem with the Cady decals is that they are way off on the color. Picky Picky !
Len Woodruff Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Picky Picky ! Maybe but the car is great looking in the correct colors which I think is Turbine Bronze. It just means you would have to paint those colors which might be easier that getting the decals to set do in those trickey curves of the body.
bbowser Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I read the thread title...and most of the posts. I find yours to be ignorant and rude. I apologize! I meant if I'D read the thread title.
bbowser Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I usually have a hard time taking myself seriously, must have been my upgbringing. I appreciate the knowledge you bring to the forum, especially on vintage NASCAR. Must be a Petty fan (and who isn't)?
Mike Kucaba Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I also just ran across a pic of the Lawman Car as a '63 Dodge!
Bluzboy66 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 '64 Plymouth with a 'hardtop'..... '64 Plymouth with a 'sedan' roof....... Cool '63 Dodge wagon...... and a '66 Charger.......
Bartster Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 This is a very informative thread & I love where it's gone, but I wasn't gonna build it as the Lawman anyway, I just wanted to see what kinda extra hi-po speed goodies it would come with. You guys are GREAT & I hope I don't burst any bubbles, I just wish Lindberg would get it out already! Phil's Hobby shop still has it listed as "sold out" on-line!!! What's with that?
Rob Hall Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) The speed parts it would have had are probably the same ones that are in the drag versions of the '64 Dodge...it's easy enough to kitbash the Belvedere ht w/ the Dodge to get the parts to do one, plus aftermarket decals. Given how stale Lindberg seems to be these days, I'm not expecting it to be released.. Edited January 21, 2012 by Rob Hall
Bartster Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 That's what I've been hearing Rob. I have a couple Dodges, just can't seem to get my hands on a Plymouth.
Brett Barrow Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Maybe we'll finally get this now that Lindberg is under Round 2's stewardship. Rumor is the decal artwork was already done and ready to go... Cady's were WAAAAAAY off (Brown and yellow vs. Orange and Maroon)
